Badia de Fornells: Why We Love Cruising the Balearics | Sailing Helios S04E15

We’re on the move again! We are sailing from Mallorca towards Menorca — the next stop on our way to Sardinia to meet up with family in a few weeks. With very light winds, we end up motoring much of the way, but it leads us to a magical remote bay that opens straight out to the ocean — perfect for a peaceful overnight stop. The next day we sail into Badia de Fornells, one of Menorca’s famously protected bays. The calm, authentic seaside town has such a relaxed and beautiful vibe — exactly why we love cruising these islands. Join us for scenic sailing, peaceful anchorages, and that classic Mediterranean cruising feel 🌊 Episode S04E15 Recorded: Mid-June 2026 Viewer-first. Ad-free. Supported by those who choose to.
